 Gainward Ultra/750XP Golden Sample

At One Glance


Comparison

 Ti4600Ti4400Ti4200
Vertices (Million Texels/s)136125113
Fill Rate (Billion AA Samples/s)4,84,44
Operations (Trillion/s)1,231,121,03
Memory Bandwidth (GB/s)10,48,88

Amongst the Titianium graphic cards, the Ti4600 is the leading edge solution featuring a memory bandwidth of 10.4 GB/s. The Ti4400 only offers about 85% or 8.8 GB/s of the Ti4600 bandwidth which is somewhat symptomatic for the overall specs that are lagging by roughly 15%. One step further down the food chain, the Ti 4200 offers only about 75% of the memory bandwidth, even though most other specs are around 83% of the equivalent Ti4600 data. Technical specs are one thing and often do not scale directly with real world performance. We'll have a drect comparison shortly.

The Box

The Gainward Ultra/750XP Golden Sample ships inside the appropriate, sealed antistatic bag. In addition to the actual graphics card, the box contains a rather unusual goodie: a IEEE 1394 Firewire PCI card with one internal and three external connectors.

The Ultra/750XP natively only features two HDTV connectors, therefore, Gainward also includes two adapters to convert the output into a standard LVD VGA out, necessary to run any conventional CRT monitor. Addional goodies include one firewire cable and one s-video adapter.

Documentation includes the printed manual, the driver CD and as software bundle WinDVD, WinProducer und WinCoder. The bundled game in this case is Serious Sam - The Second Encounter, well suited to take advantage of the Golden Sample's capabilities

To summarize, everything necessary and more is included for either gaming or connecting a camcorder by means of i-link (IEEE 1394). The software is capable of video editing and it appears as if the only thing missing for a complete video studio would be a matching sound car. But we digress .....
